Default HELP with MSD Distributor

I need some debugging advise. I pulled my MSD distributor out when I installed oil restrictors to my rocker assembly. When I put everything back together, I put the crank on TDC, pointed the rotor at the #1 cylinder and pushed the distributor on. Next I put the cap on lining up #1 on the cap to the rotor. I wired up according to firing order and the car does not start.

To debug I hooked up my timing light to the #1 wire to see if I was getting spark while turning the motor over. No spark indicated by the light. Next I hooked up the light to the coil wire to the distributor. Turned the engine over and I see spark indicated by the timing light flashing.

So seems like the coil is firing into the distributor but no spark makes it out of the distributor.

What did I do wrong?
